Jim Hanley's Universe

24 Hour Comics Day

On April 24th, 2004 cartoonists all over will face the 24 hour comics challenge. What is this challenge you ask? Simply put, cartoonists try to write and draw an entire 24 page comics story in 24 consecutive hours.

Jim Hanley's Universe will be participating in this event by providing space for cartoonists to work. It will officially begin on Saturday (4/24) at 12 PM and we will be open all through the night into Sunday. Come on down and hang out with some up and coming artists and see what goes into making a comic book!

Participants include: Matt Madden, K. Thor Jensen, Paul Winkler, Mike Rosensweig, Bill Roundy, John Hazard, Wendy Chin, Colby Hausmann, Rebekah Bennington, Valerie Reupert, Ken Applebaum, Mike Dawson and Alex Robinson.

NEWS : "The 40-year-old Mr. Everett was raised in McLean, Va., with his sister Elizabeth, mother Nancy and father Hugh Everett III, a quantum physicist who in 1957 proposed a formal theory of parallel universes known as 'The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.' 'Everett's work has boggled minds inside and outside physics for more than four decades,' reported Scientific American in last month's issue. Mr. Everett said his brilliant father wasn't communicative at home. When I asked him what the conversation was like around the breakfast table, he replied, 'There wasn't any.' 'Physicists and geniuses don't always make great family men. I lived with him for 18 years and I learned more about him from the Internet.'

Digital Cam media safe to fly with

Technocrat.net : "Recent tests found no evidence of X-ray scanner damage to digital camera media cards or to the images they hold.

These findings mean that digital cameras and their image storage media can travel safely in either checked or carry-on bags, which will be reassuring to holiday travelers. And though they were not explicitly tested, it is likely that images on camera-phones will be safe in either situation as well. More care is needed for cameras with film, however, as the X-ray scanners for both checked and carry-on luggage can fog both developed and undeveloped film."

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"
